Chapter 17: Family Members, Close Relatives

Hearing the words of her waishengnu[1] who she loved like a daughter, Xu furen's[2] originally cold face immediately had more of a smiling expression. Holding onto Ye Li's hand, she sighed in pity as she said, "Good child, you've suffered a grievance."

Ye Li just smiled and didn't say anything, pulling Xu furen's arm to go inside the yuanzi[3] and didn't forget to turn her head towards fuqin[4] who was standing at the side looking embarra.s.sed and said, "If fuqin isn't busy, also come taste this daughter's tea together with us."

Only then did Ye Wen Hua force himself to laugh, nodding his head as he said, "Then I'll come and taste Li er's[5] tea."

The originally tense atmosphere at long last eased up somewhat, the group of people were just about to enter Qing Yi Xuan when from not far away, w.a.n.g shi[6] came staggering over while supported by others. Seeing Ye Rong who was at that moment suffering from a beating that had him letting out world-shattering screams, w.a.n.g shi cried out in grief and threw herself forward to protect Ye Rong in her embrace. w.a.n.g shi was the zhumu[7] managing the household; with her showing up, the other people naturally didn't dare to make a move again and could only stand at the side.

Once Ye Rong saw that w.a.n.g shi had arrived, he promptly held onto w.a.n.g shi as though he had found a supporter and sorrowfully cried out in pain, yet still didn't forget to point at Ye Li and say, "Mother, she caused this child to take a beating. You absolutely have to help this child get revenge ah. Really hurts....wuwu (crying sound)...."

w.a.n.g shi held Ye Rong in her arms as she kneeled on the ground, looking at Ye Wen Hua with a face full of sorrow and resentment as she inquired, "Laoye[8], what exactly had Rong er done wrong that you needed to beat him like that? He...He is still so little, he is your only son ah...wuwu...third xiaojie[9] , even if Rong er had indeed offended you in any way...but you are both related elder sister and younger brother ah...."

"Li er, follow jiumu [10] to go inside the house. What kind of evil monsters are there in this fu[11] ? How would it look if it were to spread outside? If it really won't do, have your jiujiu[12] present a memorial to the emperor that it would be better for you to be received from the Yushi[13] fu when you get married. It may be a.s.sumed that for your marriage, your waigong[14] had better take charge; our Yushi fu wouldn't bring disgrace to the Ding guow.a.n.g[15] fu's face (refers to one's honor or reputation)." Seeing w.a.n.g shi kneeling on the ground not far away and who was crying with a look of grievance, Xu furen's face once again sank, pulling Ye Li to go inside.

This Ye family's w.a.n.g shi mother and daughter pair as well as Ye Zhao Yi in the palace were all of the same revolting behaviour, but never mind this Ye Ying and Ye Yue crying–this w.a.n.g shi was already of mature age and yet still didn't know shame.

Ye Li nodded, turning her head towards w.a.n.g shi and indifferently said, "Furen's words are too heavy, Rong er was punished by fuqin. But now that you mention it, Rong er should also be properly disciplined so as to avoid outsiders from saying our Shangshu[16] fu has no family education." Finished talking and also no longer taking notice of the complexion of Ye Wen Hua at the side, she pulled Xu furen's hand and went inside the yuanzi.

Xu Qing Feng followed from behind, looking a couple of times at w.a.n.g shi with interest and laughed, saying, "Gufu[17], this jishi[18]...is indeed truly interesting." He had never seen any family's furen who had this type of conduct. No matter how the zhengshi[19] of a famous and influential family was in private, they would forever be graceful and dignified in front of outsiders. This one who would on one side cry and on the other not forget to seduce people with their grieving appearance was obviously the look of a small concubine. That's right, didn't this person come from the ceshi[20] ? Finished speaking, he also turned around to follow muqin[21] and biaomei[22] , leaving the matter outside for the Shangshu daren[23] whose face was already black like ink to deal with.
